Tassies hidden gems

Paddle out at Park and Clifton beaches near Hobart or venture further to Eaglehawk Neck on the Tasman Peninsula. On windswept Bruny Island, you can brave the big breaks at Cloudy Bay or carry your board through the World Heritage Area to South Cape Bay. On the northern coast, the huge swell is a gift from the Bass Strait. Try Tam O’Shanter north-east of Launceston or the Mersey Mouth at Devonport. Marrawah is Tasmania’s westernmost settlement and home to its biggest surf. Pull on your wetsuit and throw yourself onto the huge Southern Ocean swells.
